I really like the pure tube tone it has and its not too loud at all(the whole point since I have a blues jr in the house as my main amp)   BUT,  as I have noticed,  the speaker seems to be questionable,  and I have seen some you tubes of speaker and also tube upgrades that had good results.  Whatcha guys think....doesn't seem to cost much to mod the amp.  I would like to bump it up a little if possible.]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[I like the Valve Junior precisely because of its minimalist, one knob design. It's a very retro copy of an old small lap steel amp, but with excessive gain on the volume knob if you keep cranking it. Yeah, if you want to run it up into output distortion it's LOUD! I don't run mine with an attenuator, but have used an overdrive pedal for "preamp" distortion at lower volumes. Sounds good to me. Usually I just turn the volume where I want it, and the tone is what it is.]]></content:encoded>

5 watts is too loud for that  :shock: I do it with my Epi Valve Jr. but I use an attenuator. If you're seriously looking for a bedroom amp you can crank, I'd look at these:<br><br><a href="http://guitars.musiciansfriend.com/product/Blackheart-Killer-Ant-BH1H-BH110-Half-Stack?sku=502188">Blackheart Killer Ant Half Stack</a><br><br><a href="http://guitars.musiciansfriend.com/product/Vox-AC4TV-and-V112TV-Half-Stack?sku=583008">Vox AC4TV  Half Stack</a><br><br><a href="http://guitars.musiciansfriend.com/product/Vox-AC4TV-4W-1x10-Tube-Guitar-Combo-Amp?sku=476326">Vox AC4TV combo</a>]]></content:encoded>
